Approximately 52% Find Rental Income Attractive; 77% of Prospective Landlords Prefer Full Management Services

Attitudes Toward Rental Management for Retirement

Many people worry about whether their pension will be enough for retirement. One option to prepare is "rental management," where you rent out property you own to generate income.

To see how realistic this is, we conducted a survey with Nissumi Service Co., Ltd. targeting 118 people nationwide who may own property now or in the future.

(Survey details omitted)

Question 1: Have you ever considered renting out property as a means to secure retirement funds?

66.1% answered "No."

Even among those who may own property, the majority have not considered renting it out as a strategy.

Question 3: How attractive do you find earning rental income?

51.7% find it "attractive."

While only 33.9% had considered it, 51.7% find the concept attractive, suggesting a gap between interest and concrete planning.

Question 5: If you were to manage a rental property, would you prefer to outsource it or manage it yourself?

77.0% prefer to "outsource everything to a management company."

Most people want the income without the hassle of tenant relations or repairs.

Question 6: What services or track records make a management company trustworthy?

74.5% prioritize "clear management fees."

Other top factors include vacancy management, polite tenant support, and quick repair responses.

Summary

While interest in rental income is high, concerns about vacancy risks and administrative burdens remain. Consulting with a transparent and experienced management company early on is key to moving forward with confidence.
